So much for starting off my half marathon training with a bang. My motivation has been seriously lacking. I've been wanting to check out this place called SoulCycle and I finally signed up for a class. It's killer but so fun. My legs were burning and are still burning! I definitely want to make this a more regular thing in addition to my training.

So I decided to give this Couch to 5K another try. I started doing it over the summer and just fell out of it. I signed up for The Color Run at the end of April, and considering how abysmal my half...read more

So I decided to give this Couch to 5K another try. I started doing it over the summer and just fell out of it. I signed up for The Color Run at the end of April, and considering how abysmal my half marathon training was, I just want to start from scratch and work up again.

I did it, and I finished! Considering how abysmal my training was this time around, I was thinking about not doing it at all. But I'm glad I did! And I actually got the same time as I did at D...read more

I did it, and I finished! Considering how abysmal my training was this time around, I was thinking about not doing it at all. But I'm glad I did! And I actually got the same time as I did at Disney World last year. The race was fun, the weather was awesome, and the crowd was great. Now time to veg for the rest of the day!

Did a workout that was inspired by one of my favorite running bloggers, except I switched it up a little because we don't have an elliptical machine in my gym (weird). I did 10 minutes on the Arc Trainer, 2.5 mile run, another 10 minutes on the Arc Trainer, and then another 2.5 mile run.
Planning on resting up tomorrow for my half on Sunday!

Once again battling an excruciating sore throat for the second time in 2 months. This time it's not strep but it still feels terrible. I want to take it easy but I'm also getting nervous because my half marathon is 2.5 weeks away and my training has been crap.

Alright, time to get serious about training. My half marathon is a little more than a month away and my training so far has been CRAP. I've been so distracted ever since I signed up for this r...read more

Alright, time to get serious about training. My half marathon is a little more than a month away and my training so far has been CRAP. I've been so distracted ever since I signed up for this race. Travel nursing will do that to you. But that is changing now!

Wow, what a whirlwind the past few weeks have been. Had to fly to New York for my grandfather's funeral and came back with strep throat which I've been battling for a week and a half. Not...read more

Wow, what a whirlwind the past few weeks have been. Had to fly to New York for my grandfather's funeral and came back with strep throat which I've been battling for a week and a half. Not fun at all. Did an easy walk before work tonight. Definitely need some motivation to get back into training!
